Hello everyone! Sorry that the weekly topic is a day late this week. This weekly topic is important, though, because it might provide some inspiration for your submissions for the capital G capital J Game Jam!
Since the Game Jam is now live and is the Cozy Jam (go here if you’d like more details: [Announcement] MakeCode Arcade COZY Game Jam! - Arcade - Microsoft MakeCode), I wanted to use this weekly topic for us to share some of our favorite things that make us cozy. A cozy activity usually involves little effort and is something that makes you feel relaxed and warm. Some classic cozy activities are curling into a blanket and reading, crocheting, knitting, or watching TV or a movie. Making and consuming warm drinks or warm baked goods could be considered very cozy. In general, a lot of crafty things would be considered cozy. Maybe petting an animal companion is also cozy to you! Let’s chat about it!
I really love reading while drinking something warm and tasty (like herbal tea or peppermint hot chocolate). My runner up is latch hook while listening to music or watching a show. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and I finished the last couple rows of this owl latch hook!
Unfortunately, I haven’t talked to him in about 5 years. But, it was fun. The environment was DEFINITELY cosy, probably because every day we talked it was about 7pm-ish, and the sun would be setting. Just sitting and drinking hot chocolate may seem boring, but it can be fun, in an… innovative way. You’ll see.
As of today, my favourite cosy activity would be playing on my old Xbox 360 with my siblings. Nostalgia is closely linked with cosiness.
